>black people are now pretending they invented Country music

>emerged from the folk music of the rural white working class in the southern United States, particularly in the Appalachian region.
>roots can be traced back to the music of European immigrants, including Scots-Irish, English, and German settlers, who brought their traditional folk music styles
>lyrics leaned into European ballad structures: long-form storytelling, morality tales, and themes of home, faith, and rural life
>early “hillbilly music” recordings in the 1920s were marketed explicitly as “white folk” music.

wanna say the n word about it?

It doesnt matter who invented in art, it matters who mastered it, and it was high IQ white people (and some asians).

Oh also white people invented the electic guitar, bl**ks could not figure out how magnets and vibration works.

>>127550949
Asians are doing country music now?

itt wealthy, sexually active men

>>127550971
I mean musical genres in general. Whites and Azns mastered them even if some genres started with mostly black musicans.

it used to be people made fun of nation of islam types claiming beethoven was black but intersectionality and cultural marxist terminology and mythology has been injected into the mainstream so much that people just accept this shit now because they never had argumentative tools against it.
it wont be long until they also claim classical music and art somehow was imported or originated, or first done by black moors, black egyptian muslims or pygmee chants or something.

Early country drew heavily from African American spirituals, work songs, and blues, which blended with European folk traditions. The banjo, a cornerstone of country’s sound, originated from African stringed instruments like the akonting, brought to America by enslaved people. Black artists like DeFord Bailey, a harmonica virtuoso, were among the first stars of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1920s, blending blues with what became country. The Carter Family, pivotal in country’s development, learned songs like “Wildwood Flower” from Black musicians such as Lesley Riddle, who taught them guitar techniques and folk tunes.
Black contributions also extended to songwriting and instrumentation. The steel guitar, iconic in country, evolved from Hawaiian music but was influenced by Black musicians’ slide guitar techniques. By the mid-20th century, artists like Ray Charles and Charley Pride broke racial barriers, with Pride becoming a country chart-topper in the 1960s and 70s. Recent scholarship, like Rhiannon Giddens’ work, highlights how Black string bands and minstrel shows shaped early country’s sound and repertoire.
Data’s sparse, but the 1920s recording industry captured Black and white musicians sharing songs and styles, with 78-rpm records showing integrated sessions. Still, segregation and marketing erased much of this influence from mainstream history. Black musicians were foundational but often uncredited, with systemic racism obscuring their impact until recent decades.

Just use commie tools against them.

haha OP I love froggo XD

>>127551007
Can you refute OP's point or offer any proof that white people "stole" country music from black people?

It's English and Scots-Irish folk derived.
This isn't rocket science. It's just music. Easily deducible.

>>127551065
>the banjo
>a cornerstone of country music
The mandolin and fiddle were bigger influences.

>Bailey, a harmonica virtuoso,
The Harmonica is a European instrument.

>were among the first stars of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1920s, blending blues with what became country
Blatantly ignoring Fiddlin' John Carson (white, 1923) who predated the Carter Family, and considered to be one of the earliest pioneers of Country music.

But thanks for your poorly researched Chatgpt post.

>>127551065
the kryptonite to this bullshit is when you realize this type of arguing always assumes and serves to spread the idea that white culture and identity is not a thing and should not, "this white tradition had one or two instances of outside influence, therefore it is not a white tradition but an outside tradition" which is extremely stupid of an argument. you can flip it around and often make the same but even stronger cases for foreign traditions, rap being based on white technology and white rappers influencing it, tracing hiphop culture back to white subcultures etc.

>>127551110
It literally doesn't matter how much concrete evidence you can show them. As you say revisionists have already erased a lot of white musicians of the past in order to sell the narrative that Europeans never heard or created music until contact with Africa

>>127551124
I mean, technically, the French invented rap battles.

>>127551137
actually if you read the poetic eddas and sagas the vikings and their gods invented hood warfare and gangster rap

You still haven't explained how West Africans in the 1500s invented folk music of which country music is derivative

>>127551755
That was my first post in this thread

By this logic white people invented jazz, blues, R&B, rap, and early rock because the majority of those genres' influences were white music.

You'll notice it's only race grifters who feel a need to "claim" anything. Particularly odious when it's done by patronizing whites with outgroup bias. Artists don't give a shit, music is music.

>>127551821
> Artists don't give a shit, music is music

Claiming white people "steal" music that they've been creating for centuries refutes that point. Clearly some artists really do "give a shit" to the point of not wanting whites to play or preform music

>>127551845
How many artists are claiming that? Beyonce is obviously a business more than an artist. Rhiannon is another grifter.

West Africans in the 1500s invented the guitar and fiddle?

source?

>>127551463
>Country music is a music genre, known for its ballads and dance tunes, identifiable by both folk lyrics and harmonies accompanied by banjos, fiddles, harmonicas, and many types of guitar; either acoustic, electric, steel, or resonator guitars.

oh yeah bro you’re definitely on the side of the fact-based, science-loving truth seekers

>>127552865
Yes.

>>127552865
Prove that Africa invented all European music then. Which means you would also have to explain how several ancient empires (Rome, Greece, Persia) contributed absolutely nothing the music
